I just don't think it's fair to say that "JS programmers are just discovering concurrency".
Libuv, the I/O engine for Node.js is written in C and Node.js itself is a mixture of C, C++ and JavaScript. Plenty of other "JS programmers" including myself have also been programmers of C, C++, .NET and many other environments all of which have well defined concurrency stories. None of these people fit your profile.

Sorry, but this comment conveys no useful information to me. Your original statements were quite explicit.
- oceanghost 9y agoI expressed myself poorly. Please accept my apologies. I did not mean everyone who writes JS is a bad programmer. That's not only a dogmatic statement but demonstrably false. However, people who shouldn't be programmers have to land somewhere and right now its JS.-- just like VB was back in the day. It's clear to me at least, that JS has been stretched beyond its abstraction level. It's ripe for replacement, its just that attempts to replace it have been closed solutions, so JS continues.
